00:00 Power outages in some parts of Quezon City last night,

00:03 followed by the collapse of some power plants

00:06 that are surrounded by luzon grid.

00:08 This is the surprise of Denise Osorio.

00:10 Yesterday, some parts of Quezon City were shocked

00:16 when the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, or NGCP,

00:21 suddenly raised the luzon grid on a red alert

00:23 due to the forced outage of some power plants

00:25 due to a lack of power supply.

00:28 According to Meralco, the power outage lasted for more than two hours.

00:32 According to NGCP,

00:34 the yellow and red alerts of the power grid

00:37 are only raised when the operating margin

00:39 for contingency or regulatory requirements is not sufficient.

00:41 The main warning is

00:43 that consumers should reduce their commercial and industrial consumption

00:48 so that the cargo of the power grid does not become heavy.

00:50 Meanwhile, some people experienced a blackout

00:54 and their business was affected.

00:57 In this business, the blackout has a big effect

01:00 because we use electricity.

01:03 We use a blower, a straightening iron,

01:09 so it's a big factor if we don't have electricity.

01:11 Sales are affected.

01:13 We need to have sales every day.

01:18 If there's no electricity, there's no client.

01:20 Electricity is a big factor for us.

01:26 At this time, there's no electricity.

01:30 When it reaches 5 or 6 p.m.,

01:33 there's a lot of people.

01:35 When the power grid blacked out,

01:39 we were all blacked out.

01:44 I waited for seven minutes for electricity to come.

01:48 When there was still no electricity, I left.

01:50 I closed the power grid.

01:52 The Yellow Alert was raised again earlier this morning

01:56 and the status of the Luzon grid was declared normal.

02:00 There were no obstacles in Visayas and Mindanao this weekend.

02:04 Denise Osorio for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
